c.$600

Explanation:

The adjusted balance of the inventory which is shown below:

= Opening balance of inventory + purchase of inventory - the closing balance of inventory

= $200 + $1,200 - $800

= $600

And, the journal entry would be:

Supplies expense A/c Dr $600

To Supplies A/c $600

(Being supplies account is adjusted)
